fukk I gotta make excuses for, I'm right. You compared anderson to manny paquio, a fighter in a different sport that had a much bigger market in their primes
You wanna talk all this white this white that but why aren't GSP, Dominick Cruz, bj penn, Chuck Liddell, royce gracie or matt hughes as known as ronda if they all white too?
I'm not gonna argue you that dana plays favorites or that ronda has been a product of media hype and marketing I been saying all that shyt for years in the mma thread. But the logic behind it has always been money. Mainstream "marketing" money isn't thrown at fukking anyone the names above prove it. Ronda had an angle they successfully exploited with the femnism/girl power wave. Conor had organic hype with bigger and bigger stakes on each fight. Both own all the top 5 or even 10 most successful ppvs ufc has ever had so it worked
If you wanna talk white fighters getting fan support easier thats whatever but you know damn well black ppl don't even check for mma and have more than likely checked for more ronda fights than silva, jones or woodley fights combined
you have a ton of revisionism in your hindsight. When has the UFC ever NOT tried to sell a fight? When has Dana and Joe Rogan ever NOT tried to talk up a fighter? Am I tripping or am I the only one who remembers the marketing campaign for Jones vs Cormier complete with on air ESPN livestream beefing and fighting at media events?
And everybody loved ronda huh... even when the entire arena boo'd her after she snubbed miesha's post fight handshake? Even when they been begging dana to let cyborg maul her for years?
Conor's comeup has been an anomaly of it's own which I explained already and again you're acting like the world wasn't clowning him when he lost to diaz or that people haven't been discrediting him the whole way up. Every fight it was "he hasn't fought a top 10 fw,A top 5 fw,a wrestler,Jose aldp,someone who's not a 'midget',a legit champion at 155, a title defense"![]()
Wooooooo all that butthurt in one room. Prob one of my favorite after Christmas purchases ever
Floyd is just a dumbass who can't read with no personality just like Ronda so people hate them
McGregor is on Tyson Ali thing
No head movement. Foot work non-existent. bytch you wasn't doing no boxing. Striking maybe.

...anybody that sets a date for a paycheck in front of thousands in advance got some business sense tho i give her that.
fixed .
its really not that serious. holly is higher in rank than cyborg.
I do agree with the last sentence and overall point of the post but your examples are just hella suspect. And this whole black fighters angle is hella lame
DJ just isn't marketable, none of the mens divisons under 135 have been. I remember when he was headlining PPVs too they just had shyt numbers. They been trying for years to push him.
Anderson didn't speak native english and like most brazillian fighters in the UFC they can only build fanbases off of being extremely dominant. And we know how rare continued dominance in the UFC can be.
honestly this "marketing push" stuff is kinda bs. Ronda is probably the only true example of UFC building a star through marketing. Connor had the support of his entire country before he was top 5 at featherweight so UFC just ran with it as he kept winning. Who else in MMA was drawing like that for appearances on UNDERCARDS?
UFC in general didn't have stars that transcended the sport like Ronda and Connor, it isn't about who got picked and chose they run with & who they can drain the most $$$ out of. GSP isn't a household name in america, neither was nick diaz, bj penn, matt hughes, cain velazquez or chuck. Most people weren't even aware of brock's ufc run till his first comeback
Maybe UFC didn't have the type of cash and connections back then. But Ronda was the first all out media blitz I've ever seen from the UFC. It was the only time I saw MMA being frequently discussed on ESPN sportstalk shows, the only time I saw a UFC fighter tasked to represent something bigger than the sport, only time I remember UFC results being on the front page of major media outlets, only time I remember seeing a UFC fighter get an espy, and literally the only time I've heard nikkas discussing UFC at work outside of "I could never do that UFC shyt. They just let em knee you all up in your face
"
lol....yo stfu
This nikka got arrested HIMSELF, got popped for drugs HIMSELF, banged out in his car and got a DUI HIMSELF.
Jon had a whole lot of unnecessary hate during his career but please dead this revisionist dikkriding. Jon sabotaged his own career.
